Turns out that voters don't like the party that invades them, starves them, and arrests them.

โ€œI wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private lifeโ€

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

Fund SNAP. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Restore USAID.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure itโ€™s covered in the event of a shutdown.

Theyโ€™re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a countryโ€™s population, we have a very serious problem.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock itโ€ฆ youโ€™re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope youโ€™ll do.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americansโ€ face never ceases to stun me.

โ€ฆwhile he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.
